七代天神社

A shrine where Mr. Satake was on the forefront with the Oda family and built a castle and separated from Hitachi Ota, the headquarters

The deities are Kuninotokotachi, Toyounno, Ubi, Subichi, Kakujo, Kakujo, Otonoji, Otonoji, Otonoji, Aya. Kashi Komujin, Izanagi God, Izanami God. During the Eiroku era (1558 to 1570), when Ota Sukemasa (Sanraku), the grandson of the fourth generation of Ota Dokan and a guest general of Mr. Satake, became the owner of Katano Castle, Tenjinbayashi, Satake-go, Kuji-gun, was the guardian deity of the castle. It started when he enshrined the 7th Tenjin. Another theory is that it was founded as a Tenjin shrine in Kannin 4 (1020), and in Bunroku 4 (1595), when Satake's vassal, Ishizuka castle owner, Ishizuka Yoshikuni was transferred as Kataoka castle owner, Satake Township. There is also a theory that the 7th Tenjin Shrine was enshrined. It was designated as a village shrine in 1897 and co-promoted in 1945. Tenjinbayashi, Satake-go, Kuji-gun is very close to Mr. Satake's hometown, and Motomiya must be Inamura Shrine, which is an Enki-shiki (small) shrine. It is more natural to think that Mr. Ishizuka, a member of the Satake clan, enshrined the 7th Tenjin Shrine. As you can see from the place name of "Negoya" (this is the former Negoya village), the precincts correspond to the three walls of Katano Castle built on Sakuyama. Access is from the middle of the mountain road on the south side. There are parking spaces for several cars. When you climb the hill and walk from the torii gate to the approach to the guardian forest ... the ground is as hard as this concrete. This approach must be trampled by tens of thousands of people over the years. Looking at the "Zelkova of the Seventh Tenjin Shrine", which is a preserved tree designated by the city, there are old rusted iron bars and swing traces ahead. It's a characteristic of the shrines around here (close to the local people). The hall of worship is built as if it were connected to the shrine office. I was wondering, but it seems that the 12-za Kagura, which is said to be "Negoya's Jakamokojan," is dedicated here every year. It is a sacred area filled with a quiet and sacred atmosphere.

Visit 2021.5.2. If you're having trouble parking, Miyaji-san? Came out and guided me. A satoyama shrine protected by a deep forest of guardians. Looking at the green approach, zelkova and sugi giant trees, you may forget the passage of time. I noticed the remains of old horizontal bars and swings. In the old days (Showa period), it was probably a place full of children's cheers.
